MicroRNAs, whose discovery was recognized with the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, are central regulators of gene ...

Nucleic acids are complex biological molecules that store and transmit genetic information in all living organisms. They are essential for the survival and reproduction of life on Earth. The two main ...

Using strands of nucleic acid, scientists have demonstrated basic computing operations inside a living mammalian cell. The research could lead to an artificial sensing system that could control a cell ...

Nucleotides are the building blocks of the two nucleic acids, ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). As such, they are also the building blocks of you and every other lifeform on ...

DNA is the poster child for high-specificity binding. As long as their base sequences match, two complementary strands of DNA can navigate through a sea of biomolecules, find each other, and hold fast ...

Researchers may have developed long-lived biological computers that could potentially persist inside cells. Researchers forgo the traditional DNA-based approach, opting instead to use the nucleic acid ...

Ribopeutic Inc. has divulged nucleic acid splicing modulators (particularly, Huntingtin [HTT; HD] [mutant] and/or transcriptional activator Myb [c-Myb]) reported to be useful for the treatment of ...

A novel method for isothermal amplification of nucleic acids has been developed by researchers from Xuchang University (Xuchang, China). The method could be used for detection of pathogens. A novel ...
